Hi, I am interested in contributing to Arches as part of GSOC 2014. I worked on a project similar to Arches, namely History visualizer. The idea of the project was to have a web based visualizing tool, which crowd sources historical event related data from the user community. The tool provides three types of visualizations: through space, through time and both space time.
I found great relevance between history visualizer and the GSOC 2014 projects : Improve temporal based searching and Improve Representation of Spatial-Temporal In History Visualizer, we've used a timeline glider to provide visualization through space. The timeline goes from the granularity of a century to a day and gives the temporal spread of the historical event. Events can be searched based on the start time currently. You can find the link to the page at : http://web2py.tusharonweb.in/maps_recent/default/timeline1.html To relate space and time, we had the following layout: http://web2py.tusharonweb.in/maps_recent/default/space_time.html where on moving the glider on the timeline, the user can see all historic events at that particular time on the corresponding geographical spaces. Eg: If the glider is moved to 1942, then the map shows all historic events in 1942 at the corresponding geographic locations as a marker. Unfortunately, this was built a year and a half ago using Google Maps API V2 which is now deprecated. Thus some of the javascript functionalities arent working. I am working on upgrading this so as to present the working model. Till then, interested people can find the wireframe of the website, via screenshots at : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzmxwKmAjSlDWUxrczBLQlJ6UFU/edit?usp=sharing I would love to discuss the ideas of the above mentioned arches projects with the mentors. It would be great if someone in the group can connect me with the mentors as the contact details have not been mentioned on the ideas page.
